Reconstitution

Each vial of Ruconest (2100 U) should be reconstituted with 14 ml water for injections. Water for injections should be added slowly to avoid forceful impact on the powder and mixed gently to minimise foaming of the solution. The reconstituted solution in each vial contains 2100 U conestat alfa at 150 U/ml and appears as a clear colourless solution.


The reconstituted solution in each vial should be inspected for particulate matter and discoloration. A solution exhibiting particulates or discoloration should not be used. The medicinal product should be used immediately.


Any unused medicinal product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
